Album Notes & Community Reviews

Solidifying their status as pioneers of the modern chillout lounge aesthetic, the Washington D.C. duo meticulously blends dub reggae basslines, bossa nova rhythms, and cinematic spy-film aesthetics. The record seamlessly utilizes international vocalists and lush, laid-back trip-hop beats to create a highly sophisticated, cosmopolitan atmosphere.
